Cancel for Any Reason Waiver: You may cancel your vacation for ANY reason up to two hours prior to scheduled* departure and receive a full refund for your vacation, less the cost of the Travel Protection Plan, including non-refundable airfares booked through Beachbound Vacations.* Non-refundable hotel rates are not included. Your refund will be in the form of travel credit** or original form of payment based on the Travel Protection Plan type purchased.
Hurricane Travel Credit*^: If a Category One or greater hurricane disrupts a vacation for 24 hours or more, travelers will receive a refund for unused or interrupted vacation nights plus a future vacation discount certificate. Valid for reservations departing June through November.
Need to Make a Change? For changes to bookings with Travel Protection Plus (TPP) where no penalties were assessed, the Travel Protection Plus Plan benefits are considered unused in the first instance and can be moved to a revised reservation without a reactivation fee. For changes to bookings with Travel Protection Plus where penalties were assessed, the penalties are covered but the Plan reactivation fee (75% of original price) applies if you wish to have this coverage on the revised booking.
Cancellations and Re-bookings: If a cancelled reservation is re-booked within 7 days, Apple Vacations-imposed penalties are waived. Applicable supplier penalties may apply. Additionally, the Travel Protection Plus Plan benefits are considered unused and can be moved to the new reservation without a reactivation fee. When rebooking 8 days or more after initial cancellation, normal fees apply, and Travel Protection Plus is considered used.
*Advance cancellation time is based on airline’s no-show policy. Some airlines have stricter no-show policies and you must cancel more than two hours in advance of scheduled departure. If you are cancelling a land-only reservation, you must cancel at least two hours prior to your hotel’s check-in time.
**Travel credit policies:
Travel credits are valid for travel commencing within 395 days of original departure date.
Travel credits are nonrefundable, nontransferable, not redeemable for cash, and must be used for travel commencing by expiration date.
Travel credits will be issued in the names of the adult (18+) passengers on the original reservation.
Eligibility: This plan is only available to U.S. (except Puerto Rico) residents booking their travel with Beachbound Vacations.

*Canceling or changing your reservation before departure without costly revision fees does not include non-refundable properties. Supplier-imposed fees such as airline/hotel revision penalties will be covered for the first revision instance. If used to cover supplier-imposed fees, Travel Protection Plus will need to be reapplied to the reservation at 75% of the original price (reactivation fee) in order to maintain the program benefits or the traveler is subject to any subsequent revision or cancel fees. A "lap" child under the age of 2 who shares a seat with an adult is covered under the adult's policy.
*^The Hurricane Travel Credit applies for vacations departing June through November. While in destination, if your Beachbound Vacations trip is interrupted for 24 hours or more due to a Category One or greater hurricane, you will receive a refund for unused or interrupted vacation nights plus a "Fresh Start" certificate for a future vacation. "Fresh Start" certificate amounts: $100 per adult, $50 per child for Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights and $25 per person for Scheduled Air Vacations. "Fresh Start" certificates are non-transferable and are not redeemable for cash and can be used on a Beachbound Vacation for travel any time (excluding holidays) for one year from the original departure date. A qualifying disruption occurs when your hotel requires you to be displaced from their room for 24 hours or more due to the result of a Category One or greater hurricane and does not apply to hurricane watches, warnings or tropical storms. The Hurricane Travel Credit Plan applies to the nights you are displaced from your hotel if a comparable hotel of equal or greater hotel rating is not provided.
